Quotes by Jeffrey Toobin (?)

“The result always mattered more than the rhetoric.”
― Jeffrey Toobin, The Nine: Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court

tags: hypocrisy, politics, pragmatism

“The study of law can be disappointing at times, a matter of applying narrow rules and arcane procedure to an uncooperative reality; a sort of glorified accounting that serves to regulate the affairs of those who have power—and that all too often seeks to explain, to those who do not, the ultimate wisdom and justness of their condition.”
― Jeffrey Toobin, The Oath: The Obama White House and The Supreme Court

“In the end, notwithstanding a surreal detour in the 1970s, Patricia led the life she for which she was destined back in Hillsborough. The story of Patricia Hearst, as extraordinary as it once was, had a familiar, even predictable ending. She did not turn into a revolutionary. She turned into her mother.”
― Jeffrey Toobin, American Heiress: The Wild Saga of the Kidnapping, Crimes and Trial of Patty Hearst
